February Starts With a Bang Bang Bang!

Police are investigating a murder on a major expressway ramp right by Chicago’s convention center on Friday morning.

A 32-year-old woman was fatally shot in a van “riddled with bullets” on Lake Shore Drive, near the Stevenson Expy.

State Police said a brown full-size van pulled up and fired 10 to 14 shots at a 2000 white Dodge van around 4:20 a.m., State Police Capt. Luis Gutierrez said.

The woman driving the van on the ramp between Lake Shore Drive and the Stevenson was killed, but a female passenger in the van was not injured, Gutierrez said. The vehicle was stopped in the area of the ramp that curves around McCormick Place.

Don't worry though - it's a State Police Investigation. Contact cards could never have prevented this one. McCompStat is safe for one more day.

i was wondering if does count and wheredarn if Tiny and McSoused only had the had those "housemouses" out there just one day earlier on the third time of "reassigning" the dept.i'm not management but it seems to meif you had the required number of officers in the first place these incidents might not of happened

What I don't get is that all the while Rahm is "pleading' (Sun-Times word) for information on the shooter of Miss Pendleton, the city is paying the members of Ceasefire a million dollars and their supposed success comes from their NOT SNITCHING. Remember how they held up their "deal" over this very point.

Sun-Times quotes the mayor as saying he wants to "find inefficiencies before socking taxpayers" for the cost of more police. As a taxpayer, I would rather see police than Maggie Daley Park and more bike lanes. Didn't they total close to 200 million?

1st for Feb and 45th for the year. The latest is that they're saying it was related to "drug and gang activity". Shocking. At least given the age of the victim the "honor roll student" meme is out the window.

The animals escaped the Zoo! It's scary to think that the unemployed, gang-banging, welfare sucking neanderthals are now killing baby-momma cave women where the civilized people who actual work and pay taxes are driving every day.

Apparently no rich kid involved and it didn't happen on a street where numerous Harvard lawyers and business owners lived. She didn't attend the Obama inaugural, right? Probably not even on Rahm's or Obama campaign donation list so who gives a shit.

She had no political influence.

No aldermen or mayors crying alligator tears although the women was obvious destine to go somewhere...she was on the highway.

Ya see, that's how Rahm Eff'd up too.

Rahm should of told those shooters to "take it on the interstate" and not "take it to the alleys." when he did that photo-op a while back.

Let the ISP handle it. That way it doesn't go into that Compstat propaganda system.

Anyways, seems to be a trend going on here with more and more shootings in the heart of downtown right in "the loop"

How many shootings have to happen there before the loop gets a hotspot label? When it does can someone tell us how foot posts on the interstates are gonna work?

Meanwhile anyone see the CPS school closings hearing on the west side?

It was jammed packed! Over 1,000 people and they had to cancel the breakout section because of it.

Story after story of teachers, parents, students telling their stories on how these schools represent community and yet Rahm wants to take one of the few things left that stabilizes these families and their neighborhoods.

The mayor and city council are clueless as to the consequences of their actions.

You think it's bad now. Just wait, when these school closings go down further destroying the social fabric that is so badly needed.

That's how Rahm really cares about "the children" Break up the long time relationships between the teachers, the kids, the families. Put an end to the good influences.

The murders occurring on the city's interstates need to be counted in Chicago's official homicide numbers.

Further, it would be nice if some entity could file a FOI request to investigate how many "death investigation" cases each year are actually homicides. It is estimated that up to 50 Chicago homicides per year are kept in the "death investigation" category permanenty.

So if last year's total was around 504, it was actually closer to 554. If this fudging and controlling of the numbers is true, it is a matter of public corruption that should not be tolerated.

PHILADELPHIA — Federal prosecutors on Thursday unveiled fraud charges against nine sitting and former Philadelphia Traffic Court judges accused of dismissing or reducing traffic citations for political, business and social associates in return for favors like free car repairs and shipments of seafood.

I am very proud that I was part of it. Be safe AlwaysRet PO Carol Ptaszkowski....Thanks SCC

McMuffin: homicide on the expressway?....uh, the State Police are working on that....newsie: what about the 200 officers being moved from admin spots to the streets?McMuff: yeah, we're constantly looking at our strategies...newsie: well, if it;s a good idea now, why wasn't it done six months ago?McMuff: yeah, that's what we're doing, we review what we are doing every day........newsie: (thinking).....HUH?back to other Democratic/liberal politics.....Senate: Mrs. Clinton, do you have a statement on the murder of four Americans in Libya?Hillary: we are all very sad...as to who did it, and why it happened, what difference does it make?newsie: Mr. Mayor, Chicago is now being portrayed as the murder capital of America, a place where gun control really means nothing....your thoughts?Mayor: we think of the children, and...as far as guns, what difference does it make?newsie: Supt. McCarthy...murders and shootings in Chicago have increased (over 500 murdered, maybe 2700 people shot in 2012).....what are your plans?McCarthy: well, we are moving some officers from administrative duties to the streets, and...I want a law that requires people who have a gun, to report that gun lost or stolen, and....newsie: but, the thug or felon who had the gun that was stolen, or that he threw away while being chased by the cops, is he going to report it?......McCarthy: next question....newsie: okay, will moving 200 cops from desk duties to the street make a difference?McCarthy: excellent question...and I can say......what difference does it make?

So now we have to start a tally of people killed in Chicago but NOT handled by CPD. Gary don't want these killings carried on his totals. Why is it then that CPD traffic cars patrol LSD and not the state police.I say the over/under on other Chicago killings will be 25.

The economy is broke. Illinois and Chicago are bankrupt. Wars in Syria and riots in Egypt. Military helicopters firing machine guns and strafing us highways playing multi-agency war games with no announcements to the public and what do we have the media pitching.

are they kidding?.....really? in light of all of the cops, who, over all of their years, have worked the streets, for years and years....nights, weekends, holidays, hot weather, freezing cold, walking, standing....are they fucking kidding?

The bosses can say its state police's investigation all they want but it still happened in Chicago and im wondering if the shell casings (if any) were recovered before the ramp and accident happened on the ramp therefore "state police's investigation".....either way a Chicago homicide and a Chicago shithead probably committed the murder....

Funny. She was Resurrection HS career day today talking to the girls about her "drive to be the best" and to empower women in law enforcement. I hope she didn't show them the picture of her dry-humping the carbine. That should set women back 100 years. She did take the opportunity to tell them she is a Swat officer and handed out bejeweled WTA swat hats. What a fraud.

In Rahm's world it's all about what Rahm wants and to Hell with everyone else. Rahm could honestly not care less about the taxpayers he just likes to use that phrase " protecting the taxpayer". Nothing could be further from the truth.

Illinois State Police Implement New Crime StrategyChicago, Illinois- Director Hiram Grau proposed a new plan in response to a recent rash of homicides on state property. On Friday, a 32 year old woman was shot and killed on Interstate 55. The woman, who has not been identified pending family notification, was driving southbound on Chicago's Lake Shore Drive earlier Friday morning. An unknown vehicle drove next to the woman's vehicle and fired 10-14 shots at the woman's vehicle killing her.

After the shooting, witnesses observed an intoxicated white male subject with a bad mustache pushing the victim's vehicle from Lake Shore Drive onto Interstate 55. It was unclear if the subject was involved in the shooting sources say.

Shortly after the shooting, Chicago Police Superintendent McCarthy arrived on scene and assisted Illinois State Police troopers with canvassing the expressway. Troopers credited McCarthy with finding at least 3 shell casing from the bottom on Mc Carthy's shoes.

Illinois State Police Captain Guiterrez stated that the ISP will begin implementing a new contact card strategy on Chicago expressways. Troopers will stop subjects loitering on expressways in an effort to reduce violence. Captain Guiterrez credited Superintendent McCarthy with the strategy that has helped Chicago Police decrease crime one Lake Shore Drive. Statistics show that there were no murders on Lake Shore Drive in February 2012.

who made this deal on counting homicides with the state police?? How many dets does the state have? Is the victims family happy with the state handling the case? How many city cases has the state taken? Whats their clear uprate?

heyjackass.com, f*cking awesome. Someone should email it to the twirling tutus every day!

The economy is broke. Illinois and Chicago are bankrupt. Wars in Syria and riots in Egypt. Military helicopters firing machine guns and strafing us highways playing multi-agency war games with no announcements to the public and what do we have the media pitching.

An ex-presidents dog just died.

And I suppose you would rather hear about the daily exploits of Lindsey Lohan or what shit head Kim Kardashian is fucking today? Personally the dog dying makes me sad. KK or LL dying would make me relatively happy.

Well, she sure did sink to the level of her training when she tried to pass herself off as a CPD SWAT operator on TV and couldn't use a shotgun or carbine.

How embarrassing.

2/01/2013 06:22:00 PM

Has no shame, was loading the shotgun as she ejected the shells, said she was unfamilar with the carbine although she heads the Womens Tactical Association.And she was the first to be voted out because she was way in over her head and totally outclassedOne guy hit all nine targets she hit three, the other cities must be laughing their asses off if that was a representative of CPD swat

Well... That's what Rahm & Co. want to see happen to the tax paying indentured servants in this city.

The catered to constituents, the sanctuary city people, members of the media and the criminal-political class will be grinning and laughing down their dicks.

And you know it's bad when a knee-walking, white-guilting, hypocritical, self-flagellating, wife-beating, trotskyite surrender puppet of city hall (hiya Neil!) says he essentially looks forward toward recording for posterity, the spectacle of upright, self activated people being on the business end of a dick laugh, really says volumes about his character.

History taught this funky-assed lesson...

A scornful and dismissive (can it be anything else?) dick laugh is a prelude to lots of blood being shed...

Heh... In the 20th century alone, a derisive dick laugh by dictators and tyrants lead to millions of people straight up "disappearing" or being loaded onto box cars to "nowhere."

These fools in charge want to use Chicago as a laboratory for the new and improved dick laugh.

Success here = High probability of sucess nation-wide.

The hollow-assed, Chicago sourced Fakir of Fuckery and his henchmen The Axelrod and Rahm Al Ghoul von Flaming Tutu, are sifting everyone to the bottom.

They want to show their socialist peers and brethren they are truly contrite for the national tradition of American Exceptionalism, self sufficiency, hard work to reap AND KEEP the reward of YOUR OWN LABOR or reaping the reward of willful ignorance and slovenliness.

The current President made it his business to curtsy and bow to foreign heads of state in apology.

Deep in our hearts we felt something was very very wrong for that to have occurred.

The guilters, self-flagellators and apologists thought it was "the right thing" for POTUS to do...

The reasonable and upright man is running out of air, opportunity and time... It's all by design.

Look at tactical barbies picture on her website, im no gun nut but shouldnt she have her weak hand on the verticle fore grip? Or is it so far forward because it simply is not her weapon? Also her eye relief is wrong, length of collapsible stock needs to be adjusted, look how her wrist is hyper extended. Also no where are you taught to put that much finger on the trigger!

Chicago's population was higher in 1929 than now, too, so murders are MUCH higher 'per capita' now.Is that an increase in the increase? I think so.

Provocateur, risk-taker, competitive and outspoken are just a few of the words that describe me. Karen Bartuch has been in law enforcement since 2002; she has worked a variety of assignments including patrol, gang and tactical teams, undercover, surveillance, intelligence and counter-terrorism and served as a policy advisor

Here is a suggestion... Since this land belonged to the Native Americans BEFORE the Pilgrams showed up,. give it back to them, call it a Native American reservation ,,, build a casino and your murder rate will plummit as its no longer in the City of Chicago, but rather on an Indian reservation.

US Attorney and FBI handle the cases... Chicago PD keeps the number of officers, but calls plummet and you get to keep the North of the river area............

Examiner Editorial:Why isn't gun control working in Chicago?January 30, 2013

"On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing in the U.S. Capitol titled "What Should America Do About Gun Violence?" Mass-shooting victim and former Arizona Rep. Gabby Giffords testified, as did National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre. But no one from the new murder capital of the United States, Chicago, was invited to testify."

"If Senate Democrats continue to push for more gun control legislation while ignoring the failure of existing, similar gun control laws in the president's hometown, House Republicans should rectify the situation. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., should take C-SPAN's cameras on the road and hold a field hearing in one of the few American cities where gun violence is bad and getting worse. We suggest a title that gets right to the point: "Why Isn't Gun Control Working in Chicago?"

I read that the atttack ads against her on t.v. were bought and paid for by a PAC run by New York city's mayor. He and Rham both have a anti gun agenda. Imagine that????? Just some of the BULLSHIT that comes from N.Y.!!

They have now settled on "GANG VIOLENCE AND THERE WAS NEVER ANY RISK TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC" from people shooting cars and their occupants full of holes on the public way.

After all, this crew never just opens up on occupied homes at 3 AM and kills sleeping children in their beds.

Don't worry, be happy.

Rahm's got another dead honor student to use, and his media apparatus has a whole week to run with the standard aint-gon-take-it-no-mo bullhorn marches and teddy bears and jesses and yellow ribbons and revs and so forth.

Use one idiotic shooting in City In A Garden Chicago's Fabulous Parks to drown out the echoes of the bloody assassination right at Chicago's Spectacular Lakefront A Mecca For Tourists And Conventioners.

Halverson was against obamacare before she voted for it. Now she said she has to moderate her pro gun stance so she can represent her district. She got her ass kicked out of the house last time because she lied to her constituents.

The woman is visibly insane. Look at the eyes bulging as she prattles.

Toi Hutchinson, our sleek new lipstick display from Olympia Fields -- boosted into politics just three years ago -- smirks and condescends unbearably about "Republican males who want to take away my rights."

"Uh huh, that's true," the audience moans back.

Here, one anti-gunner calls on another anti-gunner to be even more anti-gun. Talk about being on the same page. Look at the four of them in this picture, deciding what to do with other people's s__t.
